1885  —  1910 


',^;  HE  HISTORY  OF  ST.  CHARLES  PARISH  is  similar 

in  its  general  ontlines  to  most  of  the  city  parishes.      A  I* 

lumber  of   families   reclaimed  the  prairie,   and.   desiring"  f 

the  comforts  of  religion  and  the  benefits  of  a  Catholic  |* 

school  petitioned  for  a  pastor  of  their  own.     At  first  the  number  of  ♦ 

families    was    small  —  about    two    hundred  —  and    manv    sacrifices  % 

were  made,  but  faith  and  generosity  conquered.  * 

The  present  parish  of  St.  Charles  Borromeo  was  formed  by  %■ 

joining  portions  of  St.  Pius'  and  St.  Jarlath's  parishes.     All  south  |* 

of  Twelfth  Street  formerly  belonged  to  St.  Pius",  and  all  north  to  X* 

t 

St.  Jarlath's.      It  is  bounded  on   the  north  by   Polk   Street,   from  *:* 

Rockwell    Street   to   Lincoln   Street,   and    from   Lincoln   Street   to  % 

t 

Ashland  Avenue  by  Taylor  Street ;  on  the  east  by  Ashland  Avenue  *:* 

from  Tavlor  Street  to  Fourteenth  Street ;  on  the  south  from  Ash-  % 

t 

land  Avenue  to  Western  Avenue  by  Fourteenth  Street,  and  from  *{* 

AA^stern  Avenue  to  Rockwell  Street  bv  Sixteenth  Street ;  on  the  ♦ 

west  by  the  railroad  tracks.  *| 

*♦* 

Rev.  F.  S.  Henneberry,  the  ijastor  of  St.  Pius',  worked  most  ♦ 

*?<? 

earnestly  for  the  establishment  of  the  new  parish,  and  personally  % 

requested  Archbishop  Feehan  to  listen  to  the  appeal  of  the  peti-  |* 

tioners  for  a  pastor.     The  fall  previous  to  the  establishing  of  the  % 

parish  Father  Henneberry  sent  teachers  from  St.   Pins',  and  they  *♦* 

conducted  what  was  termed  the  Branch  School,  which  was  situated  *$ 

on  Hastings  Street,  No.  335,  and  in  the  property  owned  by  Mr.  *> 

J.  Ryan.  % 

In  August,    1885,   Archbishop  Feehan  appointed   Rev.   P.   D.  *t* 

Gill   as   pastor  of  the  newly   formed   parish,   and   he   selected    St.  ♦:* 

Charles   Borromeo  as  the  patron.      Father   Gill   entered   upon   his  *j* 

work  trusting  entirely  to  the   faith   and  good-will   of  the   people  ♦:♦ 

of  his  new  charge,  and  he  was  not  disappointed.  ^

78                    ST.     CHARLES     CHURCH,     CHICAGO  | 

St.   Charles'  choir  has  been,   during  the  twenty-five  years  of  % 

its  existence,  one  of  the  most  active  and  progressive  organizations  * 

in  the  parish.     Starting  under  the  direction  of  Miss  Marv  Doran  % 

in  1885  with  a  small  membership,  it  undertook  some  very  pretentious  ^ 

work,  and  attracted  voices  of  unusual  sweetness  to  its  ranks.  f 

After  two  years  of  most  satisfactory  service,  the  choir  came  |l 

under   the   leadership  of   Mr.    P.    Torney,   whose   daughter   Edna,  *f 

then  a  young  pupil  of  the  parochial  school,  presided  at  the  organ.  % 

In  a  few  years  Miss  Torney  resigned  to  accept  the  organ  at  Our  f 

Lad}-  of  Sorrows  Church.     Mr.  Fitzgerald  and  Mr.  ]\Ioore  succes-  $ 

sively  took  charge  of  the  choir,  which  consisted  of  twentv  singers —  f 

just  enough  to  occupy  the  small  platform  which  served  for  so  many  *> 

years  as  the  choir-loft  in  the  building  which  is  now  the  parochial  |^ 

school.  S 

In    1894  the  choir  direction   was  given  by  Rev.    Fr.    Gill  to  % 

!Miss   Alav   Smith,   now   Mrs.   AVm.   F.   R^•an.   who  has  continued  ♦*♦ 

-  •►♦♦ 

to  preside  as  organist  and  choir  director  ever  since.     As  soon  as  % 

the  new  church  was  proposed,  a  large  chorus  of  seventy-five  voices  ♦> 

was  organized  to  prepare  for  the  dedication,  and  since  that  time,  % 

although  old  members  have  resigned  after  years  of  service,  and  |* 

pleasure,  new  recruits  have  gladlv  taken  their  nlaces.  so  that  the  ♦ 

work  of  the  choir  has  been  of  the  highest  excellence  at  all  times,  ^ 

and  an  orchestra  was  needed  on  all  important  feasts  to  support  the  ^ 

voices.  1^ 

At  last  a  large  organ  was  a  necessity,  and  a  Lyon  &  Healy  *> 

two-manual  was  installed  at  a  Sacred  Concert  given  February  13,  $ 

1901.     Very  Rev.  John  Cavanagh  delivered  the  address.     j\Ir.  Ed-  *> 

ward  B.  Sche\e  gave  an  organ  recital,  and  the  program  presented  $ 

by  the  choir  was   very   elaborate.      The   opening   chorus    "Exulta  t 

Sion"   was  written   for  this  occasion,   and   dedicated   to  the  choir  *
